This is very telling folks (btdubs, I'm back)....

Here we have the average number of white starters in college football by conference. The South is also the largest market for college football. But, it is the South with the largest number of AA that is considered racist. Curious... we seem to love these boys and their accomplishments.

Big 10 9.1
Pac 12 7.3
Big 12 6.7
ACC 5.9
SEC 4.4

BTW, looked it up because Northwestern was blinding my eyes.

i'm certainly not one that buys into the racist South argument, but this argument doesn't really make any sense considering the South has a much higher population of blacks the SEC is the best conference and blacks are better at football than whites are.

Blacks are good at sports and there's more in the south than other parts of the country.

OMG, newsflash... black folks returning home to the South after moving to the Midwest during Jim Crow made Southern football relevant.

And killed Midwest football which was king when the South was lily white country-club intramural and insular football until the 1970's.

Black people are good at football. It matters where your recruiting ground is.

You don’t watch a lot of NFL QB play do you?

Queue the “SEC Football is the modern plantation” article written back when Georgia played Hawaii in the ‘08 Sugar Bowl.

I think we need racial quotas to help diversity. At least 60% of starters must be white. Diversity is a strength and the teams will be better, of course.

If you would have just stopped there you wouldn’t be down voted.

So what do y’all believe is the reason blacks are so much more physically superior? Obviously physiological, but is it the result of ‘breeding’ during the slavery years or did it start before that with survival of the fittest in the African jungles? I believe it developed in African jungles refining the abilities that allowed some to prosper by running fast and being stronger than anything required by the Caucasian races for survival.
